This. invention relates to scrapers and especially to that form of scraper. utilized in the leveling of top soil and which em bodies among other characteristics the pive otally mounted handle members to facilitate guiding ofthe scraper while in use, and to permit the scraper in its entirety. to discharge its contents independently of the handle members, thereby relieving the operi ator from manually lifting and reversing the position of the scraper.

An object of the inventioncontemplates the use of roller members carried by the scraper and between which the handle members' are received in the instance of locking the latter upon the scraper.

With the above and other objects in view, the invention further includes the following novel features and details ofconstruction to be hereinafter more fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawing and pointed out in the appended claim.

In the drawing: 7

Figure 2 is a sectional View-taken on th line 22 of Figure 1;

Figure 3 is an enlargedelevation of the roller members engaging a fragmentary portion of the handle member.

Referring to the drawing in detail, wherein like characters of reference denote corresponding parts, the reference character 10 indicates the usual and conventional form 5 of road scraper having the ends 11 of an attachingyoke (not shown) pivotally mounted upon its forward end. A pair of companion members 12 have their forward ends correspondingly mounted at the 'junctures of the end portions 11 of the yoke (not shown).

Positioned at desired heights upon the opposite sides of the scraper are elongated plates 13. Spaced apertured cars 14- are bent .mal positions, are held between the roller members 15. r

In the use and operation of the present invention it is manifest that an operator upon grasping the handle members 12 may direct and exercise an inward'tension upon saidhandle members to retain the latter between the roller members 15 to facilitate the lVhen the scraper 10 becomes filled, the operator then spreads the handle members 12 apart 7 sufiiciently, in order that the forward edge of the scraper will dig intothe soil, which upon subsequent movement will dump the contents thereof thereby relieving the operator from bodily reversing the scraper. The handle members are free and held by the operator and subsequently positioned bein position adapted to hold a handle member therebetween. I

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.
